This vacuum works as well (or better)than the large, heavy uprights. The suction is excellent & it is easy to use. It is so light!!! Canister removes easily for empting. I like that you can turn off the brush when you use the hose. This one does not have all of the bells and whistles of a more expensive vacuum, but if you are just looking for one that cleans well and is "user friendly" - this is the one!

I bought this vacuum cleaner for my grandmother since it is nice and light. However, the wheels broke of after two years of use.

Pros: Bagless vacuum cleaner for under $100, light weight, good suction, performed well.

Con: The wheels are plastic, riding on two plastic clips. Once the clips break, there's no way to fix it, other than replacing the base for $42+s&h. The filtering is done by an air filter, that clogs over time and loses suction. The warranty is only one year.

Overall: If you are looking for an in-expensive cleaner, for a small apartment, and are gentle with your vacuum, then it is a perfect vacuum for you. If you have the extra money, or a large house, or expect your vacuum to put up with some abuse, get a Dyson.

This would work for you if you have very light cleaning to do (like in a small office space) or a college dorm. I would get something with stronger suction for the home.

This vac has powerful suction-I'll give it that! Cleaning it is a chore. The best way to do so is with an air-gun, which, I'm sure most people don't own. What ends up sticking to the filter (i.e. hair w/ dirt in it) needs to be removed by hand. It has lasted a long time but without wheels (the wheels ended up falling off pretty quickly). Fifty dollars is fifty dollars, so look at some other vacuums!
